One-Pocket - what do you do?

[cuetable]

Great solution!

This is the shot from Incardona's instructional video:

The idea is to hit the 10-ball, then the 9-ball. This will send both balls down to your pocket/the cluster + the cueball in the rail then into the stack.

Perhaps the layout is a little bit different from the video (it's not much different), but many on here got the idea already so the layout can't be too bad

Anyway, it's a great video you've made Billy. Thanks

Honestly I was thinking hard on how to the CB to the back of the pack, but I just didn't think of hitting the 9 and 10 both. I sensed there must be a reason you drew the cluster around the bottom.

Billy is a genius to come up with this sensible solution to show people. I love it!!


I actually watched the video maybe 5 to 7 years ago. I guess I have to watch it again carefully

If I'm shooting cold or on an unfamiliar table I like AZE's shot best. If not, I'm making the 9 with a little follow to shape up the 13. It's not a hard shot, there's little risk of selling out, and it could easily get you 4 or more balls.

It's funny, this was my shot of choice...it was argued (no problem) then when it's posted as Incardona's shot of choice as well...now all the sudden it's a great shot. lol I love it. Great stuff.

Btw, you'll miss the scratch in the side with a little high right by half a diamond to a full diamond, the right kills the cb to the high side of the stack, the high english pushes the cb down between the 14 and 3 balls. Say hello to a trap. I promise you won't beat me that rack if I put you in that situation.

I agree. The way it's diagrammed here you have an open shot at your hole with natural position on more balls. You can even hit it at pocket speed and have perfect shape to break the pack with the next shot. I don't see why you guys want to duck here.
